Welcome to the Inyo County Planning Department
The Planning Department is charged with the orderly growth
and development of the County while maintaining its quality of life and
natural environment. We serve as staff to the Inyo County Planning
Commission; administer the County's Zoning, Subdivision, Environmental
Review, and Surface Mining Reclamation Ordinances, and provide
information to the public. If you would like to read more about the

The Planning Department also assists the Inyo County Board of
Supervisors and Planning Commission in long-range planning for the
County by maintaining the Inyo County General Plan and coordinating
planning efforts with other local, state and federal agencies which
affect the County and its residents.
Our most important mission is to always provide excellent customer
service. If you have any questions, comments, or other feedback, please
call or send us an e-mail
